Last sunday, I went to an artist gathering, in a beautiful rustic old barn in a rural area outside San Luis Obispo, California. There was a large crowd, lots of antiques, jewelry, altered art, and my favorite....handmade crowns and tiaras! I saw the most amazing creations, fit for any queen or king. Kerri Judd and Danyel Montecinos were there to demonstrate how to make your own royal headpieces. What a wonderful way to start a new tradition in your framily, to mark holidays and those special milestones in your life. They have written a lovely book, which I quickly snatched up, with great instructions and ideas to get you started. Of coarse the first thing I noticed on the book cover was the crown featuring the" oh so chic "chicken wire. Never has chicken wire looked so elegant......ahem.... except on my earring shrines of coarse! The possibilities are endless...I can't wait to make my own....My favorite quote in the book.."a girl should be two things: classy and fabulous"- Coco Chanel
